Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I was able to climb the boulder on Tuesday and was super happy because I only needed 4 sessions to climb it. So that was my project for the summer. I climbed Libre soft (7C+) 2 years ago and thought I could never climb the Libre original. I think (according to local climbers and Verticle-Life Climbing) that the boulder has no female ascent yet.

What is your climbing background?
I started climbing when I was 3 and started doing climb comps when I was 12-13 years old. But in my hometown Osttirol I always climbed outdoors and really like to go climb outside. I am in the Austrian national team and that was the first 8B Boulder I ever tried and now already could send… :)

What is your best competition result?
The IFSC European Boulder Cup in Liébana, with a 7th place in the women category last year :)
